Healthcare in sub-Saharan African has always taken a back wheel with limited investment despite a growing middle income population.
To bolster this, American Hospital Dubai has partnered with leading global business solutions provider RivExcel.
The transformative partnership heralds a significant step towards bringing world-class medical services closer to the African population to nations such as Kenya.
The partnership, announced on January 31st, 2024, was solidified during a historic signing ceremony in Dubai. Key figures present included Mr Buti Al Mulla, Chairman of Mohamed & Obaid AlMulla Group, Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of Mohamed & Obaid AlMulla Group and American Hospital Dubai, Dr. Marwan AlMulla, CEO of Health Regulation Sector at Dubai Health Authority (DHA), Tonye Princewill, Executive Chairman of RivExcel, and Tayyibat Mohammed, Nigerian Consul General in Dubai.
RivExcel will leverage its established network across Africa to establish and manage American Hospital Dubai’s Representative Offices, starting with the inaugural office in Lagos, Nigeria.
This strategic move aims to connect communities in Sub-Saharan Africa with American Hospital Dubai’s renowned healthcare services.
Following the success of the Lagos office, RivExcel plans to establish another Representative Office in Abuja, Nigeria, in the coming months. This expansion will further facilitate access to premium healthcare services, reflecting both organizations’ commitment to improving global health outcomes.
Commenting on the partnership, Tonye Princewill, Executive Chairman of RivExcel, stated, “This strategic alliance embodies our shared vision to make high-quality healthcare services accessible to everyone, especially in regions that need it the most.
We are confident that these Representative Offices will become beacons of exceptional healthcare in Sub Saharan Africa. Kenya is the regional hub for commerce and trade and we look forward to the possibility of expanding there next.”
Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the UAE’s position as a leading medical tourism destination. He emphasized the importance of collaboration and innovation in delivering cutting-edge healthcare services and ensuring patient safety and satisfaction.
This strategic partnership between RivExcel and American Hospital Dubai presents a remarkable opportunity to bridge healthcare gaps and improve the well-being of communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Both organizations are poised to shape the future of healthcare delivery, fostering a legacy of excellence and accessibility for generations to come.
